Environment Setup

Requirements

• GitHub Desktop is installed and provides a bundled Git executable.
• The repository is cloned at: C:\BaiduSyncdisk\codex\Personal Website\github-site\jinxu-xj.github.io
• The GitHub Pages site publishes from the master branch.
• Ruby/Jekyll local preview is optional; no local Jekyll build was confirmed during memory initialization.

Git

Use GitHub Desktop bundled Git if git is not on PATH:

& "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\GitHubDesktop\app-3.5.8\resources\app\git\cmd\git.exe" status -sb

Common workflow:

& "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\GitHubDesktop\app-3.5.8\resources\app\git\cmd\git.exe" status -sb
& "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\GitHubDesktop\app-3.5.8\resources\app\git\cmd\git.exe" add <paths>
& "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\GitHubDesktop\app-3.5.8\resources\app\git\cmd\git.exe" commit -m "Update academic homepage"
& "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\GitHubDesktop\app-3.5.8\resources\app\git\cmd\git.exe" push origin master

Fetch before pushing if remote changes appear:

& "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\GitHubDesktop\app-3.5.8\resources\app\git\cmd\git.exe" fetch origin
& "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\GitHubDesktop\app-3.5.8\resources\app\git\cmd\git.exe" status -sb

Local Preview

If Ruby and Bundler are installed:

bundle install
bundle exec jekyll serve -l -H localhost

Then open:

http://localhost:4000

If Ruby/Jekyll is not available, verify pushed content through GitHub Pages after deployment:

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://jinxu-xj.github.io/' -UseBasicParsing

Deployment

Deployment happens through GitHub Pages after pushing to master.

Current live site:

https://jinxu-xj.github.io/
